Hadn't seen this yet. URL please? |
I saw the news story a week ago. If i remember right it said emails were being read that were not allowed to be read, but it was a mistake that they were looking to and not at the direction of Obama. |

I do not believe anyone is complaining about the protests, at least not me. I'm just trying to set the facts straight on who is protesting and what they represent. I'm a big believer in public decent and free speech.
As for Obama and the domestic e-mail spying you got it a bit off. The story is that it was discovered that the NSA was misinterpreting past policy and the Obama administration is putting a stop to it. In fact the Justice Department under Obama is researching, evaluating and undoing many of the privacy and civil rights violations of the Bush administration.
I agree with you that it is not, or at least should not, be an issue of party affiliation. Unfortunately radical elements in both parties have made every issue a polarizing issue and at times it seems hopeless that we can find our way out of that mess and use some common sense. And although I disagree that the media is biased as a whole it seems that there are at least two extreme sides represented by them that stoke the polarization. You have hit on a couple of the names already.
It sounds like you have or are serving your country as I did many years ago. I want to thank you for that service but also remind you that the greatness of our country is that people can disagree. That is what we defend. DonĂ¢€™t get sucked into believing that if people do not agree with you that your service is being dishonored.

I was surprised that I didn't see but a few Conservatives that I know, mostly folks that were concerned for their children futures and seniors not being able to continue in their retirement.
